Horde Guides

Routes and loops written for Horde characters.

This hub collects the guides a Horde character needs from the Valley of Trials to level 60. The Horde leveling route 1–20 takes an orc or troll through Sen'jin Village, Razor Hill and Orgrimmar, across to the Crossroads and down the Gold Road to Camp Taurajo; tauren join at the Crossroads around level 10, and undead arrive by zeppelin. The shared bracket routes then give the Horde track: Stonetalon, Ashenvale and Hillsbrad in the twenties, Thousand Needles, Arathi Highlands from Hammerfall and Stranglethorn Vale from Grom'gol in the thirties, and on to Tanaris, Feralas, Un'Goro Crater and the Plaguelands.

The Horde dungeons have their own boss-by-boss guides: Wailing Caverns at 17–24, Shadowfang Keep at 22–30 and Razorfen Kraul at 25–35, next to dungeons both factions run, such as Scarlet Monastery and Zul'Farrak. Copper and starter herb loops in Durotar, Mulgore and Tirisfal cover the first skill points.

In ForeverBot, open Leveling and keep Pick guide by level and zone ticked: the guide starts in the Valley of Trials and switches to the Barrens once you cross the bridge. Press Start and the arrow leads from quest to quest. Alliance routes are in the Alliance hub.

Frequently asked questions

Can a tauren or undead character use the Horde leveling route?

From stop 5 onward, yes. Tauren walk east out of Mulgore and up the Gold Road to the Crossroads at around level 10, and undead take the zeppelin from the Undercity to Orgrimmar and join at stop 4. The Durotar half of the route is orc and troll content.

Should Horde players run Ragefire Chasm and the Wailing Caverns?

If a group is easy to find, yes. Ragefire Chasm is short, sits inside Orgrimmar and fits levels 13–16, while the Wailing Caverns is long and belongs to the 17–22 bracket. Neither is required: the route reaches 20 on quests and grinding alone.

Where should a Horde character go after level 20?

Stonetalon Mountains for 20–24, Ashenvale for 24–27 and Hillsbrad for 27–30, which is where the quest log runs dry a level early. The Great Lift into Thousand Needles is best from about 24 or 25. After 30, take Arathi from Hammerfall or Thousand Needles, then the zeppelin to Grom'gol for Stranglethorn Vale.
